less than 48 hrs to go

well here i am. in less than 48 hrs i'll be on my way to africa for the grandest adventure of my life so far. and i still need to pack. and spray all my clothes w/ the magic bug spray. oh, and figure out how on earth i'll be able to pack the 7 million prescriptions i've been given in my carry on bag and have enough room for @ least one book.

i've been trying not to think about the flight but it's not working very well. i feel a bit like my anxiety about flying has overshadowed my excitement about the trip to some degree. i have a feeling that once i'm finally on ghanian soil i'll be hit w/ a rush of excitement thats being squashed by nerves now. and i am definitely very excited already...but also very anxious. i guess thats normal tho right. i just wanna get there and have a fabulous time and be so exhausted from all the excitement by the time i come home that i don't have the energy to worry about flying. plus, i have window seats the whooole way back. kaching!

i'll post news when i can. apparently there's wireless in the internet cafe which means i won't be stuck on dial up, so i should be able to update somewhat regularly. the next post on here will be written from hohoe in ghana...which is in africa. =D
